Dear Editor: Over the last month, the Liberty Humane Society (which takes in strays in Hoboken and Jersey City) has blocked adoptions, hindered volunteers from working with dogs (Fuller, Chase, Justice, and many others), and has decided to revert to its old style of “less managing and more euthanizing of dogs.” I am not just …

Dear Editor: When my girlfriend and I heard that dogs were being euthanized at LHS, we went immediately to the shelter to see if we could adopt a dog and give it a loving home. I fell in love with Fuller right away. The tag on his cage said that he was easygoing, but he …
Dear Editor: I am in need of your help. I am deeply saddened and disturbed at what is being done at the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City. Adoptable animals are being euthanized, even though adopters are waiting to adopt them. They have made it very difficult to adopt pets. If a rescue comes to …
Dear Editor: We are deeply saddened by the passing of Franco Di Domenica. Indeed, Franco Di Domenica was an “institution,” a “legend” in the Jersey City public school system. Franco Di Domenica provided outstanding, quality education to this city’s youth for over 25 years. Franco Di Domenica was a devoted instructor – a “Professeur Extraordinaire” …

Dear Editor: I was at the Liberty Humane shelter today (which serves Jersey City and Hoboken), and met Milkbone and I’m in love…He doesn’t look like a real pitbull. He is a bit larger, but he has the most awesome personality. If he could, he’d probably sing for treats, smile, sits shakes we were giving …
Dear Editor: Does the Emperor have clothes? His bare appearance of failed curriculums, manipulations, denials, self-centered, egotistical, power-hungry behavior for years as Superintendent escalates the absolute atmosphere of degenerate nonsense, which unfortunately distributes swimwear to a populous left abandoned in a frigid blizzard. His hand-picked entourage, together with the bought and sold Jersey City School …

Dear Editor: In spite of a sorely needed vision and plan for the future of Journal Square, the latest version of the Journal Square 2060 Redevelopment Plan remains deficient. The plan is for our true downtown and the heart of the city, but it fails to reconcile its goal of pedestrian-friendly street life and building …

Dear Editor: Re: Response to the August 8, 2010 article of Ricardo Kaulessar as to Director Priscilla Gardner’s continued effort to end the Operation of the Community Awareness Series of the Jersey City Free Public Library (CAS) using the budget crisis as justification. My name is Steven Pinkney Sr. For more than 20 years, I …
Dear Editor: I am neither for nor against a contract expansion for Charles Epps. What I try to do is gain perspective on the issue by relating it to my life. I am a poet, having written over 200 poems. I have published a book of poetry and will soon have the second one published. …

Dear Editor: As a resident of Jersey City and recently appointed Environmental Commissioner, I am deeply concerned about Spectra Energy’s proposal to transport 800 million cubic feet of natural gas per day through Jersey City. I believe it is dangerous and irresponsible to route this gas pipeline through one of New Jersey’s most densely populated …
